i think the people that we're watching right now is egypt and egypt's response to all of this. they are a gigantic country that have been a lynchpin of peace in the entire region, and they have a new mohammed muslim brotherhood, brand-new democratically elected but untested government. morsi wants to be as a statesman in the region, but he hasn't faced these crises before. >> thank you very much. we'll talk with you in the next few days on this especially. we have breaking news. moments ago eric holder announced a historic fine against bp for its role in the largest oil spill in our nation's history. bp will pay $4.5 billion for the deadly disaster in the gulf of mexico. the company will also plead guilty to a dozen felony charges including misconduct for the death of the 11 men who died in that explosion that triggered the oil spill. two employees also face manslaughter charges, and just moments ago, attorney general holder says this case is far from over. >> i want to be really absolutely clear that today's resolution does not, does not mark the end of our efforts. in fact, o

thank you so much. >>> for more on egypt and the situation in gaza, i'm joined by journalist and msnbc contributor rula jabril. good morning to you. >> good morning, alex. >> so let's talk about president morsi, who proved to be an adept negotiator in brokering the cease-fire. but does he have the motivation to really crack down on hamas and the militant groups, and hold them to peace? >> i think there's a misconception of morsi's role. i don't think morsi sees himself as the police man that will control hamas. he sees himself as a mediator, as a negotiator, and he would love to be the one that would eventually broker a peace deal. he doesn't want to control hamas militarily. he would like to negotiate with israel, and with them, and be included in any u.s. bilateral negotiation eventually. but he will not be the policeman. i mean, we need to forget the idea that we will control hamas militarily. >> but, if hamas gets out of control, doesn't it have detrimental effect on egypt? isn't it in his interest to ensure the security of hamas, and keep things quiet and calm in, you know, the ga
